Hummingbird Garden Tips

Use plants with prolific tubular flowers in shades of bright orange, red, yellow, pink, and even vivid purple.

Plant hummingbird-friendly plants in masses to provide plenty of nectar for their incredibly high metabolism.

Avoid pesticides and be more tolerant of insects in your garden (and any resulting damage on your leaves).

Complement native flowers with longer blooming cultivars to keep the feast going from April through September.
